UMPI may be more ACE credit friendly. My experience at Excelsior was not great. My counselor couldn't answer any transfer credit questions and it took her at least a week to respond to emails and phone calls.
It seemed to me that Excelsior would accept the most credits from SDC, minimizing total cost for a degree. I figure I need a total of 35 transferable SDC courses. I've got 21 done so far with 3 in progress. Based on the information at SDC, all of these should transfer to Excelsior: (the transcript doesn't show the most recently completed course - Business 209). Then another 11 courses and I should be good to transfer.
My hope is to be ready to start at Excelsior in mid/late 2026 with one of these start dates: May 4th, June 29th, or August 31st, at the latest.
Have you confirmed with EU that Study is correct on how their courses transfer to EU? I ask because I ran into an issue with Study that there were a couple of business classes that didn't transfer in as they were listed on Study's website. I personally preferred Sophia's platform over Study's.
